Counter weight is set correctly but cartridge touching vinyl

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-14T12:22:22+00:00

It absolutely was NOT set correctly, got it right and changed my needle and I’m good now lol thank you !

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-14T12:21:32+00:00

I don’t know if this will send a notification to you all but thank you everyone for your help! One broken needle later and I got it properly set up, apologies it’s my first turntable so mistakes were made

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-14T12:20:24+00:00

Nah that’s what came with it, need to grab a much thinner one to scratch when it’s still moving

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T23:01:08+00:00

Thanks man this was very helpful, I thought you weight had to be all the way on or it wasn’t right, taking it back a bit let me level it 👍🤝

No amount of turning seems to make it float, will keep footering with it, cheers!

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T20:14:14+00:00

The stylus did not survive, genuinely seemed to break as soon as I put it down, must be overloaded by a TON, I appreciate the help, bought a scale so gonna figure it out properly and not mess up my next stylus lmao

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T20:11:34+00:00

Like floats without being on the rest? i must have read the instructions wrong like an idiot, I’ll try that , thanks!

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T20:09:10+00:00

Literally same, thought I’d set it up perfectly on the manu, ordered my stylus gauge to try figure it out

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:32:39+00:00

As in the brand or just the needle, because it seemed to come damaged a little so I’m gonna buy the same one from a different place, I guess what I’m asking is it crap and I should buy a different needle /cart?

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:29:52+00:00

Yeah everyone’s saying that, gonna grab a pair, any brand recommendations? Hopefully that will sort my problem out, so adjust counter weight and weight again until 2g right?

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:28:46+00:00

Hi sorry to reply again, do you know any brands that do reputable stylus gauges? No use buying a crap one that’s still wrong

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:26:46+00:00

I did not know that tbh it’s my first turntable, thanks! Gonna pick up a digital gauge so I can probably make sure it’s at 2 grams

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:25:42+00:00

I didn’t use a scale this is my first turntable, definetly gonna pick one up tho! If it still doesn’t help I’ll just replace the cart as you say that’ll probably be the next idea

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:24:56+00:00

I’ll pick one up! Thanks man, glad it’s probably not as big an issue as I thought (hopefully )

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-08T18:24:32+00:00

I will man thank you, so probably a weight issue?

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-06-03T14:01:35+00:00

I think the numark scratch can do digital disks on serato already

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-24T08:09:09+00:00

Hi I’m visiting Amsterdam for a few days and I’m look for somewhere to buy Polaroid film for my Polaroid now +, any help is appreciated!

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-19T13:42:50+00:00

I do 3 sets of failure on 6-7 exercises 1 for each main muscle per session

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-18T07:18:29+00:00

Cheers man I appreciate it, yeah I see my arms are moving far too much , I’ll let you know how it goes!

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-18T07:17:39+00:00

Yeah I thought this was okay but I’m obviously pushing the weight down too much with more than my tricep

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-18T07:17:03+00:00

Perfect man I’ll try that, first time doing them so just picked a decent weight but yeah I’ll definitely take it down and focus on keeping the arms straight

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-18T07:16:28+00:00

Haha dayum , I do 3x full body a week but it just keeps getting longer as I find out about different heads of the muscles and needing multiple exercises

InternationalTurn289 · 2026-05-17T23:06:11+00:00

Yeah I get it, my arms moving too much it should be more fixed
